Printable Puppets

We love a good puppet show at our house, as well as a good sing along! And there is nothing better to inspire shows and singing then some easy to make puppets!

Puppets can help kids act out a situation that is bothering them, or deal with a fear. They are a fabulous starting point for loads of creative, imaginative play and can be used in so many different ways. Puppets can inspire learning, and help us parents be less self concious when it comes to singing with our kids.

I love making puppets to go with songs, or stories, or just for fun.

Below you can find links to all of our free printable puppets.

All of the puppets are A4 sized pdf files so you will need a pdf reader such as adobe acrobat to open them. If you are printing on US ‘letter sized’ paper be sure to select ‘fit’ or ‘shrink to fit’ from your printer options.

Please remember that the printables at picklebums.com are for personal use only, you may not sell, share, or link directly to these files.

Five Green Frogs

There are lots of fun frog songs you can use these frogs for, as well as lots of fun story telling ideas, for imaginative play or with play dough.Find the frog puppets here.

Just found your printable puppets today as I was looking for a cute way to introduce subtraction to my kindergarten class. I saw that you were wondering about other puppet ideas. Five Little pumpkins is classic. Ten Timid Ghosts and the witch might be fun too. Ten in the Bed or the Napping House. Thanks so much for making the puppets free.

Hi! You have done so nice material and I am glad that I can use these. I would be very happy, if You can do some day any fairytale theme puppets. I think maybe Redhood, Three pigs or Snowwhite. Thank you! Greetings from Estonia :)

Love your puppets for my prek kiddos! The puppets are so colorful and CUTE! I was looking for ones to go with a popular new book-“Hog in the Fog.” I’d love to see you do some of some of the newer books to help students do retelling and recalling! Keep up the great work you are the best thing to happen to a poor teacher how wants to have fun with her class!

I really loved all the puppets on this page. They are very helpful for us childcare workers, who are always on the look out for resources, to make teaching our little toddlers a fun filled activity. Hope you could make puppets on shapes, people who help us and and colours.

My Children are obsessed with Peter and the Wolf could you make the characters? They hum the musical phrase for each character and know the instruments by sight and sound. Awesome little people. I would love the instruments too if you are keen. Big ask……

Hello,
I was wondering if you are still doing the puppets? They are precious and I can’t wait to use some of them in my storytime next week! Please let me know if you are planning on making more, I can’t wait to see! Thanks and God Bless!

What lovely puppets and a wonderful idea to accompany nursery rhymes with! I had been toying with the idea of making puppets to go with the rhymes, but do not have your artistic skills to do so. Thank you very much for sharing your ideas and puppets!

Adorable!!! I hope you don\’t mind if I pinned these. I\’ve alwasy been able to draw my own for my classes and otehrs. I have forgotten to use clothes pins recently like you had in the bun image.TY. I\’ve been using tongue depressors.

How about pictures for “Slippery Fish” and “The Wheels on the Bus”….also have to agree with farm animals..I have been using my stash of ‘Teeny Beanie babies’ from McDonald’s for song props for the farm…my toddlers ADORE them!!!

1. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH! These cute pics and printables and song ideas and everything are amazing!

2. Do you draw the pics yourself? You are very creative and talented. :)

3. Have you heard of the ‘Baby Shark’ song? (“baby shark doo doo do doo doo doo”…)
It’s a really cute song about a baby shark, mommy shark, daddy shark, grandpa and grandma shark. I’ve been looking for cute matching printables to go with that song, and thus far no luck.

So, if you are looking for more fun songs/printable puppet ideas, I’d so love and appreciate this one! (plus, I’m sure you’ll love it too) :)
